Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

lol...were you worried that you didn’t make it clear enough before?

I was absolutely blitzed and went on the internet. apols.

I'm a terrible drunk once I'm on my own. I just get annoyed about things.

Have any of you (or I?) recommended the Herzog volcano doc? It's great!

I think there's some traffic on the Herzog thread.Into the Inferno is terrific!

I finished Glow and liked it. Not sure I buy Maron's character arc, but I'm in love with Alison Brie, generally loved the ensemble cast and I'm a sucker for some sentimental claptrap, so I'm IN.

Godless is good!

Yeah, we just raored through both series of Glow and regret not a second of it. It even made me like Maron, which is quite an achievment.

The live action version of Bleach was surprisingly awesome! Would recommend even if you're unfamiliar with the anime.

I just saw a review for Dragon Prince that positively compares it to Avatar: The Last Airbender and Justice League (presumably the DCAU version), both of which are A+ in my book. Anyone confirm?

Have any of you (or I?) recommended the Herzog volcano doc? It's great!

Is the volcano in Flavortown? And does anyone lick it?

American Vandal is back now I think!

Glad to see S2 of Aquarius got made. Digging it.

I couldn't get into the first American Vandal but the second season is great

What didn't you like about the first one? Love the second one so far, it's both more puerile and ... I was going to say even more ambitious with its satire, but I don't know about that. It's definitely equally smart about its stupid subject, though.

No one has said anything about Sierra Burgess is a Loser? I started it today, but got interrupted. It's like a cyrano story with Barb from Stranger Things? And our favorite Baby Ruffalo.

ooooh ok will watch you said the magic words ie Baby Ruffalo

^_^

omg i just watch the trailer - it’s Cyrano / Truth About Cats & Dogs ie my fave subgenre of romcom I AM SO IN also Baby Ruffalo makes it impossible for me not to now :D

Posting for VG and the Baby Ruffalo fans: https://www.thecut.com/2018/09/my-date-with-noah-centineo.html

That Freddie Prinze Jr. comparison, damn.

Apostle looks fucking awesome.

I will admit we’re totally in the everything is just a regurgitated take off of other stuff you like but come on how Wicker Man x Get Carter x the Raid not be good.

Volcano doc was so good

imo, American Vandal is the best original series made by Netflix so far

xxposts that was great thx Roz <3

Guys this Sonia Burgess thing is not great
I don’t like it except for Baby Ruffalo

sierra...sonia...whatevs

WHat! How? The trailer makes it look so good. I haven't had the time to get past the first 10 minutes I watched yesterday.

it’s boring, stilted, the dialogue is unnatural...it doesnt feel like people, fictional or otherwise.

so i watched season 2 of atypical

i liked how the last few episodes turned into something more than autism

casey exploring her curiosity for women, listening to cure records, sam being just an awkward guy who turns into a philosopher with so much insight, which admittedly is a pretty common archetype in movies about weird high school loners turned thinkers

it definitely feels like something beyond autism, which is probably for the better

also no idea what cyrano means but i saw the sierra burgess trailer and it looks like they make all her problems revolve around her being overweight

not sure how much of a (good, series long) show you can make out of that premise alone tbh

it’s a movie fyi :)

cyrano = cyrano de bergerac ie ugly person uses attractive person to woo similarly attractive person

or the movie Roxanne if the literary reference still doesnt track

oh my bad

i thought the trailer looked terrible tbh, but was curious cause... Noah Centineo.

apart from the fat=unattractive message, it's also about catfishing?

well, cyrano is basically about that too.

yep

i watched a teen romcom, called alex strangelove, about a high school kid that was in the closet. i wouldn't recommend it highly but it has good things about it, notably one actress (the girlfriend) who i thought was great, she reminded me of alison brie. her name is madeleine weinstein and her imdb bio ends:

She would also like everyone to know she is not related to Harvey Weinstein.

The 100 is hardcore for a CW show. Five episodes in and there's a 20 minute torture scene.

I simply love the 100. Skot isn’t here right now to back me up. I love how it gets right to the point in a very unscreenwriterly way, I love how casually gay and matriarchal it is, I forgive it readily for its many idiocies.

speaking of terrible trailers... I really want to check out Maniac cause I love Emma Stone and Cary Fukunaga is involved but god, it looks like some horribly pretentious crap.

why

Because

^Great trailer

Hill House, btw, is being handled by Mike Flanagan, who knows what he is doing. And Gugino is awesome.

Maniac is apparently pretty good. will watch when high.

i'll watch hill house. The source material has already been desecrated by what's his name so it's not like there's anywhere to go but up

Just started Maniac. Who else is in on this?

tapped out after three episodes. Felt like warmed over Charlie Kaufmann and I don't like looking at Jonah Hill's face

i’m going to give it ago

a go
